Recently I took a walk down to the park to read a book. There were several children playing in the park while I was reading, and I had tuned out all their talking and yelling — but certain words will catch your attention, you know what I mean? Here’s the conversation I heard, starting with the first statement that caught my attention (I’m approximating the ages):
3rd Grade Girl: Playboys get sperm all over their faces.
1st Grade Boy: You mean Playboy girls get sperm all over their faces.
3rd Grade Girl: Yea, Playboy girls. That’s what’s I meant. Ha ha. (All kids laughed)
5th Grade Boy: Ha Ha. My Uncle lets me look at those magazines.
… At this point I couldn’t hear anything else they said.
Some adults (caregivers of children) are really stupid. They actually let elementary children look at porn magazines. It’s a wonder they can be so stupid and still breathe. At least they are breathing — that’s more than they deserve anyhow.
Wake up, America. Wake up, Christians! I’m glad my church has children’s programs that are evangelistic — this is why. If you are a Christian and are bothered as I was (and it should bother you and it should offend you — that’s the whole point) — don’t just sit there. Do something. Combat this! You don’t fight spiritual problems with intellectual discussions. You combat spiritual problems with spiritual forces. Keep fighting, people. (Cue the Petra music…fade in slowly…).
Get on your knees and fight like a man . . .
Wow…I think this is just terrible!
I think, on the one hand, it is important to discuss it, because then we are informed of the problem and can determine a course of action…but it can’t stop there! We MUST pursue a course of action and put a stop the injustices like this.
I whole-heartedly agree that prayer is the only place to start, and it should be the primary tool to fight throughout the battle, and it’s a great way to end, but what are some physical things we can do along with praying? Do you, or anyone, have any recommendations?
I will gladly roll up my sleeves and work as hard as possible against these types of things…I just need a little direction. In the meantime, and after I start working, I will be praying, and praying hard!
Oh dear.
I am also commenting to let you know of the helpful encounter my friend’s daughter found reading through your web page. She figured out numerous issues, not to mention what it’s like to have an amazing giving mood to have most people really easily know selected impossible subject areas. You really exceeded our own expectations. Many thanks for imparting the invaluable, safe, explanatory and even easy thoughts on the topic to Janet.
